The awards are being delivered virtually over three days.
Boult was awarded for his splendid run at the T20 World Cup in UAE lst here where New Zealand reached the final.
The 32-year old had taken 13 wickets in the tournament and played a crucial role in taking his side to the finals.
Boult defeated Tim Southee, Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell and Ish Sodhi — who also played vital roles in the Black Caps’ run to the final before they lost to Australia — to take home the award.

“It means a lot. T20 is a format I really enjoy and one I’m constantly trying to adapt my game to in order to become a better bowler. It’s something very special to win this award and I feel really grateful to receive it,” Boult, who is currently in India for the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, said.
Devine, on the other hand, bagged her her second International Women’s T20 Player of the Year award in two years.
She scored 118 runs in four outings at an average of 29.50 with an overall strike-rate of 113.46 and a top-score of 50 against England in Hove.
The fan moment of the summer went to the retired Ross Taylor for his final wicket in his last Test against Bangladesh in Christchurch.
